Mowing the lawn can be injurious to youngsters, report finds | Fox News
Now the article mentions injuries to kids as young as three and I'm not sure who allows their kid that young to run a lawn mower. I mean, at that age I could barely reach the handle of our Dennis the Menace model. I did, however, have to pull weeds and use the grass shears around the fence posts.
I thought judging by the title that this was going to be a spin-off of the boob thread.
Any kid older than about 12 who gets hurt with a lawnmower probably shouldn't be allowed to use scissors either.
Personally I'd give them an old school push-reel mower to use. Might as well do something good for the environment and get some real exercise while they're at it.
The study, at the University of Tennessee in Memphis, used data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to identify patients age 20 and younger treated for mowing-related injuries between 2004 and 2013. The commission collects data from approximately 100 emergency departments to produce national estimates. The data were compared with an earlier review of pediatric mowing-related injuries from 1990 to 2004.
